EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cleopatra's Needle on the Thames Embankment" takes us back to 19th-century England. The print showcases a remarkable monument standing tall on the banks of the River Thames. Cleopatra's Needle, an ancient obelisk gifted to Britain by Egypt in 1819, is beautifully depicted here. The scene is filled with mythical and fantastical elements that add intrigue and wonder to this already impressive sight. A majestic sphinx creature stands guard at the base of the obelisk, its presence evoking thoughts of ancient Egyptian mythology and polytheistic beliefs. The artist skillfully captures both the grandeur of this historical landmark and the mystical aura surrounding it. The intricate details bring out every curve and line of Cleopatra's Needle while also highlighting the mythical beast at its side. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported not only to Victorian London but also into a world where history intertwines with mythological tales. It serves as a reminder that even in modern times, our fascination with ancient civilizations and their religious practices endures. This particular print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the artistic craftsmanship involved in creating such engravings as well as our enduring curiosity about cultures long gone.
